NEEDLES, Oct. 18th, 1887.
With promise TO do 10 no more, your
correspondent cries peccaI and humbly
prays forgiveness. There is no excuse
for this long neglect, except possibly an
indescribable feeling Of inertia and lassi-
tude, more properly denominsted, per
haps, laziness.
Many events have transpired at the
Needles since ! last imposed upon your
valuable time and space, and from all
accounts many more will soon transpire /;
all important, Of course.
First and foremost came the long talked
Of store and saloon Of Monaghan & Muir
ply. Both are completed, both are occu-
pied and both are just ~ handsome as
you please. In the store is carried =
large and complete stock Of merchandise,
while the saloon has been fitted up anew
from beginning to end and is brilliantly,
glitteringly gaudy. The latter place has
been leased by Messrs. Briggs and Cornin,
two popular marriageable young man,
who propose to continue as obliging and
good-looking AZ they are now.
A new coal chute is in course of con-
struct:on by the company, and will soon
be completed.
As soon as the necessary appurtenances
arrive from headquarters, a company
hospital for sick and injured employees Of
the railroad will be established here.
1t is authoritively rumored, too, that
the company will soon erect here ten or
twelve more cottages for the accommoda-
tion of its employees. This is a consumma-
ton devoutly to be wished for.
Among the newcomers your CORES
pondent records with delight the arrival
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Swayne, the former Of
whom takes place in the company.s
shops here as foreman Of the tin and
copper department..
VIM. Bosworth, the diminutive throttle
jerker of the yard engine, departs soon 10
accept more lucrative position on the
Colorado Midland.
The occupants Of the company bunk
house are in mourning over the loss oi
Miss peyson, the former proprietress 0!
that establishment, who has gone TO join
relatives in Stockton. Mrs. Fitch, a mos;
pleasant and agreeable little lady from
Evansville, Ind, has succeeded her.

About twenty wagons, composing a

Mr.. Fred sobmann, one Of the oldest

Gold Basin.

This great gold district embraces an
area of about fifty miles in length by ten
miles in width. Its southern boundary il
about fifty miles north of the town Of
King,nan, the county seat Of Mohave
county. The district touches the Colo
RADIO River at the foot of the Grand Can
yon, and its nearest point to the A. Il p.
Rsilroad Is distant forty-five miles from
blackberry. The surface Of the district is
very much broken, being traversed by
ridges, crossed by spurs, furrowed by
canyons and gulches, with here and there
small valleys. Throughout its whole ex-
tent are outcropping ledgss or lodes, rich
in gold and other minerals, assaying in
gold from five to five hundred dollars per
ton, with occasional pockets and deposits
far exceeding these figures.
This district has long been known to
the miners Of Arizona, and has been
worked, in certain degree, since 1873; /;
but, owing to the want Of facilities OF
transportation and the heretofore impossi-
bility Of working the ore on the ground,
none but very high grade ore could be
utilized, and no ore save such as would
cover cost, which was very great, has
ever been mined or taken away.
All miners who know the district, or
who have ever worked as chloriders in it,
testify to the good grade Of the ore, to the
ease with which it can be worked, and to
Its exhanstless quantity; yet, notwith'
standing this, for years, this, perhaps the
richest gold region On the Pacific Coast,
has lain fallow, or been merely scratched
on the surface by chloriders. The reason,
which has always been apparent, is be-
cause there IL not at any point where the
richer lodes are situated any water avail
able for mining purposes. The bringing
in Of water involves vast outlay o'
money. An individual rich enough tc
accomplish this of his own resources does
not need to mine, and for this simple
reason, the want Of water, this rich
region has lain glittering in the sun fo'
years, with all its great known wealth
surrounded by comparative solitude and
almost wholly undeveloped.
i The Mohave Mining and Milling Cor
/ poration, domestic company, composed
of responsible men, residents OF the
county in which the district lies, and who
possess free knowledge Of it's cspabili
ties, under an organization which gives
aggregated strength, are about to solve
the problem Of its development. Ths
company has purchased the water neces
sary for their mills, which they propost
TO pipe for sixteen miles TO the center Of
group Of mines twelve in number, which
they have purchased, and which, from
assays made Of their ores, show very rict
deposits.
The propositions upon which this com
pany arc operating are plain, simple snt
practical; and, II adhered to, cannot bu
result In great profit TO the stockholders
and of resultant benefit TO the county.

weeks absence, to the Office boy. II
see you say in this weeks paper that
Maj. Shortcard, our esteemed fellow
townsman, stopped in yesterday and
ordered his paper stopped Now what
ia the name Of Great Scott do you mean
by that kind of talk?"
"W'y, gov nor, them's just bout your
words when he subscribed while
back, only you added. may his shad-
der never grow no shorter,:' or some
thing like that
SWELL, s'posen I did. s'posen I did"
howled the editor, that's another
thing entirely Then he was Maj.
Shortcard, and was esteemed and valu-
ed, and we felt Interested IN his shad-
ow. You don't seem to catch on to the
first principles of journalism. Now,
you should have put it Like this: odd
Pete Shortcard, the notorious tough of
this city, tried to bulldoze us yesterday
by ordering his paper stopped. As he
had never paid a cent and we took in
ten cash subscriptions inside of two
hours we can probably live through it.
